Patch Notes 1.8
Hey, Explorers! In this update, we make your adventure in Amikin Village feel more exciting and more rewarding. The story moves forward with Chapter 2, your progression gets a new boost with Prime rarity content in the Ancient Arena, catching becomes more tactical with a new Elemental Mastery bonus, and Adventure Paths rewards are refreshed based on your feedback. Let’s review the changes!
New Rarity: Prime

We added a new rarity called Prime. It comes with both equipment and Amikins.
Prime gear brings elements into your loadout, starting with a brand-new weapon: the Beam Rifle. This laser gun comes with an element, performs better against counter Amikins, and rewards steady aim by increasing your damage by 1% with each consecutive hit, stacking up to 30%. Prime armor also gains elemental resistance, helping you handle dangerous fights more safely when enemies are focused on one element.
We also added Prime Amikins. They come with a unique perk Elemental Shield, which absorbs 25% of damage from its effective element so your Amikin takes less damage from the element it is already strong against. On top of that, all Prime Amikins come with S or SS rank already.
You’ll find special Prime offers presented by NPCs in the Ancient Arena, and the best part is that you can purchase them with Gemlets.
Catch Bonus & Elemental Amidices

We added a new bonus in Elemental Mastery that lets you increase your Amikin catch chance by up to 2 times as you level it up. This bonus is upgraded separately for each element, so when you improve one element, it boosts your catch chance only for Amikins of that same element when using Amidice.
To match this new bonus, we’re also introducing Elemental Amidices. Each one is designed to catch Amikins of its matching element. Using the correct Elemental Amidice can boost your catch chance up to 2 times compared to a regular Amidice. This effect stacks with the new Elemental Mastery bonus, allowing your final catch chance to increase up to 3 times. You can obtain Elemental Amidices in Adventure Paths.
Storyline: Chapter 2

The search continues, and Chapter 2 pulls you deeper into the mystery of your brother’s disappearance. This time, you’ll work with AMICORP’s manager, Owen Cowl, team up with Scully, and follow stronger leads as the trail starts pointing toward the truth behind it all. These new story quests are now available to all players.
